Activity Stream

I've not got any wiring diagrams to hand, but here's a quick one I've thrown together. I generally use DIN rail mounted 'ice cube' relays...

Thanks m_c, I am in unfamiliar territory here, can I be cheeky enough, do you have a schematic I could look over involving the 2 relays you...

According to the 'last activity' date Seabass has not posted here for a few years. If you haven't done so add a comment on one of the above YouTube...

This has been debated a few times on here, but there's not really a 'correct' way to do it. Key thing is you want everything to stop in a...

My preference is for dedicated machines, but whatever works for you.

hi, somebody know how can get the cad for this build thanks

Personally I would go with a dedicated pc

Hi, can you send me a link to the item? Ray

There's a couple on eBay for around £20 also there are others such as Telemecanique Preventa. My background is electrical by the way, I think you...

Just had a look at those PILZ relays, a bit steep for me. Ray

Thanks Eddy Current. My initial thought was to place one E Stop in the circuit, then power all 3, 36v outlets on my PSU through the E Stop,...

If it's any help, here is a link to my schematics, https://www.mycncuk.com/threads/6565-Ready-Steady-Eddy?p=52213#post52213 They have changed...

Hi Ray Good luck with your project, let us know how you get on. Cheers Andrew

Hi "the great waldo" many thanks for your advice, much appreciated. I have decided to go with ARDUINO UNO + DT556T for the Stepper Controllers, I am...

I forgot to mention nema 23 are pretty much the standard. 800 x 600 base board won't give you a 800 x 600 cutting size , you are going to lose a bit...

Make sure your z axis can pull your cutter high enough. You'd be surprised at how much z axis height you need if your'e cutting out a les paul body...

Hi m_c, again, many thanks for your advice. Regards. Ray

I'd probably er on the higher torque side, and go for the 3.0Nm motors, certainly on the X and Y, as that's the axes that will be worked the hardest....

That’s good to hear thank you. They might be quite limited in terms of YouTube audience interest but they helped me learn new things at least.

Thanks m_c more bed time reading. Regards. Ray

DM drivers are definitely a step above TB drivers. Given that prices have dropped quite a bit, you might also want to consider using closed loop...

I am sticking with NEMA 23's on X,Y & Z Axis. so I was thinking either TB6600 or DM556T Drivers, I am unsure about control side, ie, Mach3, Arduino +...

For which part specifically? Controller, or drivers?
